"Kwon Jiyong?" Someone said behind him. The boy looked up. 

"Yes?" He said politely. The person in front of him didn't seem that much older and gave the distinct impression of being rich. Maybe it was his way he stood or the large Chanel logo on the tongue of his sneakers, who knows?

"Ah, it's nice to finally meet you," The man smiled, "My name is Cho Jiwoo. I'm under the impression that you're close to my sister?"
